Founded in 2007, this six-person company is already renowned for its dynamic, actor-focused style and lapidary productions of Shakespeare, and their elaborately plotted romance Cymbeline sings out with utter clarity in Fiasco’s capable hands during the first week of their residency at Duke.
In the second half of Fiasco’s two-week residency, they hunker down in Sheafer Lab Theater to develop and rehearse Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure before giving two workshop readings in the intimate black-box theater. We are thrilled to offer this rare opportunity for behind-the-scenes engagement with an ascendant young company celebrated for its resourcefulness and dramatic brio.
Fiasco Theater Company is a co-presentation of Duke Performances and Duke Theater Studies.
Fiasco Theater Company's residency is made possible, in part, by a Visiting Artist Grant from the Council for the Arts, Office of the Provost, Duke University.
In residence January 31 through February 18.
